Because I am easily amused
Many people on LJ have been complaining about friending bots, usually either bots that post in Russian or spambots that post the Masha story along with advertisements. One type of bot that I haven't seen any complaints about is a kind that scrapes content from other blogs and articles and then replaces various words with other words. I have talked about this kind of content-scraping post-mutilator before, both here and here, but those bots were always on other sites (like Wordpress). Last week, however, I learned that there are similar bots here on LiveJournal, bots that don't seem to irritate people by friending them randomly but may be found when you're searching the 'net for something else.

While the word "privy" is an excellent one to use on Google blogsearch if you want to find a bot, there are other excellent ones. Face it: If a blog or journal features the word "albescent", you are looking at the work of either a bot or a fanfic writer. If you see a sentence like "The news focuses on albescent phallic dominator’s undergo kinda than the inhabited tribes" then you are probably not dealing with a fanfic writer (I hope).

Good literature is ageless, timeless, and is free to cross all the borders. Obsessions, feelings, fear, are universal and common for all the humans in the world.

An primeval warning of the gist of gild upon literature crapper be seen in Geoffrey Chaucer’s town Tales. Chaucer’s some activities in the ordinal century as auditor, official of the pact and entitle of the shire brought him into connexion with the judgement classes. A member of King Edward’s individualized household, uranologist would hit been influenced on his smooth missions by the cultures of Spain, communicator and Italy. As uranologist and author, these ethnic opportunities staleness hit inspired Chaucer. He wrote emotional genre modelled on the famous land and dweller poets. Troilus’s strain in Troilus and Criseyde is reportedly Chaucer’s movement of Petrarch’s sonnet. town Tales observes gild and the gild of Chaucer’s epoch, satirising belief and the collection grouping by illustrating stereotypical individuals, ofttimes inverting their roles within society. Chaucer’s region collection youngness amongst the commercial region of London’s Vintry to his elevated function amongst elite gave him an brainwave into the collection structural system. Gaining ideas from Gower and Boccaccio’s tales. uranologist also drew from the gild around him; The worthy and moral, chivalrous, wealthy entitle emphasises the judgement classes notion of themselves, the humorous Pardonner’s Tale, the ridiculed Prioress and the slummy Ploughman, who represents the modify classes. The Wife of Bath’s tale presents us with women who are either pristine and virginal, so decent that they are unrealizable or guileful and deceitful. The old Wife of Bath boasts of her fivesome husbands, pointing discover that happiest marriages are where the spouse is the politico and that women should hit ascendance over their husbands, presenting primeval reformist points of view.
During the arduous travelling into the hunch of the jungle, author presents the horror, which lies beneath the opencast of King Leopold II’s Zaire Free State. The literature has been produced because of the actualised arts occurrences and Conrad’s analyse that ethnic instrument was lacking, therefore, the new is a creation of its context, act the exploitation, control conception and colonialism. Throughout this novel, we crapper refer the prejudiced language, descriptions and the certainty of hierarchal systems existence ordered in place. Chinua Achebe titled author ‘a thoroughgoing racist’. author fashioned his arts findings into a novel, entwining albeit prejudiced views of individual gild and arts facts, lightness not exclusive pattern and colonialism but also vie and reformist issues. The news focuses on albescent phallic dominator’s undergo kinda than the inhabited tribes. author presents his equal of imperialism, ‘a albescent Negro in much unheralded elegance of get-up … a high, starched collar, albescent cuffs … a decent neckwear … low a green-lined shade held in a bounteous albescent hand’, represents an clean and decent gild and symbolises noesis and vantage over black natives, who are presented as anonymous and speechless, ‘black shapes crouched, lay, sat between the trees … clinging to the earth.’ Chinua Achebe criticised author for his statement in the Congo, occupation him a individual with a winking mind, blinkered by his dweller views of Africans. Conrad’s descriptions of the natives as ‘niggers’, connected with his quality to provide them a module raises questions of racism. ‘The bounds of a black and obscure frenzy’, infers that the natives are unintelligible.
The new is flooded of ambiguities; everything in the new is draped in darkness, mist, atmosphere or gloom, figuration the quality to wager creates a distortion. The river, described as a diapsid symbolises falsity and guileful and the crooked activities of the colonisers, the exploiters. Heart of Darkness offers a coercive denunciation of hypocritical dealings of imperialism that crapper be explored throughout the new with wasteful scenes of officialdom and striking scenes of injure and cruelty. The Manager tortures a autochthonous pupil for allegedly play a fire. The Company exposit their playing as ‘trade’ still it becomes country that Kurtz rules with violence, aggression and force. In the communication of natives, Marlow describes; ‘Black shapes hunkered … in every attitudes of discompose … fed on unknown food, they sickened, became inefficient, and were then allowed to creeping absent and rest’, with the noesis of history, it is country these men were mitt to die.
Some of the key purposes of literature, to entertain, inform, instruct, propose opinions, attain us conceive or opt and modify to stimulate gild are in obligate within society’s routine culture. Literature is more than text on a page, it crapper inform technological utilization and expedition and equal amongst others, social, historical, political, reformist and churchlike views. Literature is a creation of gild and is thence a conception of arts culture. Literature is strained by rules of instance and inform ethnic trends. Culture is strained by instance and inform literature. Literature allows the show of gild at a presented instance and therefore, is conception of ethnic history.

It's hard to say what the motivation is. They could be malware or data collection sites.
The mangling might ensure that the original authors can't complain about ownership, and the content won't appear in a search for the unaltered version.
Or maybe it's not that complicated...
Or maybe they ran it through an English-to-Russian translator and then used a content filter (buttbuttins ftw!)
